Well it's better to tell them it's for wines, beers, chutney, etc as the alternative (not stilling) might get you a tug.........

the men with the funny shaped heads take a dim view if you make too much of a smart arsed reply that alludes to nefarious uses....

I was actually thinking of other uses for sugar Ice. A couple of them that I can think of are even more unpopular with the authorities (one of which I was taught professionally in a previous life).......

But as with anything, there's often more than the intended use for a material...... ;D

Blue Peter did a very good lesson on children's hour back in the 60's, on something that was legal to do back then, round about the end of October.

Had a guy who worked for me years ago, used to drive
one of our trucks.His name was Maurice and he said,
with real conviction that in a previous life he was a
real Red Indian Chief. So from that day we called him.
Geronimo ;D
BTW is this sugar tax going to effect the price of our
gunpowder gents ???
Rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy

As far as I understand it, the sugar tax is about carbonated soft drinks. To try an discourage parents plugging their brats into bottles of coke etc........

I always say "I've heard there's going to be a sugar shortage so I'm stocking up".

The other day a couple went back round the store and bought some more sugar. !!!!!!!!!!

Self fulfilling prophecy !!!!!
